820?!
That cant be right?!
I'd have thought more like 320 at  the wheels if it's stock. Most, if not 
all articles I've seen where  they've tested a 'stock' musclecar 
(especially hemi's) have shown the  actual rwhp to be way down from the 
advertised hp.

Regardless of  what they said, I'm jealous that you get any tv shows that 
would show such  a test!
